while many people still speak braille, use braille, create braille, have the printers and the punches that are part of the braille language, we're seeing, i think, many younger readers not use braille, but rather use, obviously, all the other audio and connective forms that there are in terms of communication. so many of the hand held devices, many have speaking capabilities and audio exams now, and i'm not going to make predictions about braille, but i think we're seeing less and less of it. it's sort of interesting. as we talk about the transition of braille and the movement from braille to other forms, one of our challenges is that we have really many transitions in the world of talking books. the transition from braille to all the other forms. the transition from the old cassette tapes, which is a technology that the national library service will stop completely beginning of next year. they won't be producing anything in those tape forms. that'll be gone. in most people's personal lives, the cassette tape has been gone for a few years, and so we're a little behind the curve there.
